Crowd was absolutely great last night. Again, mostly diehards who were with every pitch. When the Twins first went up on Detroit 2-0, as SOON as they posted the score on the RF board, everyone was going nuts. Reminded me very much of a last weekend game I went to in 2008.

Of course, there was a Wave for about 10 minutes in the 7th inning... But, eh, I was over in 155 basically right behind the LF foul pole and even THAT wasn't so bad, at least by me, seemed like people were up for multitasking. Really, one of the better games I have ever been to. Glad they rewarded us with the win.

Were you wearing your Sirotka jersey? Thought I might have seen you there last night.

We sat in 156. Agreed, good crowd, everybody into the game. I refuse to participate in the wave, but other than that, it was a fun night.

Crain was the unsung hero. Terrific bullpen work overall, but Jesse was especially good.

I am so with you, I've been about 50/50 in terms of tuning into games this year and seems every time I do they stink it up. I know it really has no impact, but I just have a hard time watching this team. I will root like heck when I open the box score on my phone tomorrow!
